How schools kill creativity...

Education is something that is in everybody's mouths and minds. As it should be.

Most of these people want to improve the quality of our education system, because let's face it: it's horrible. I want to be a teacher, even with this awful system. And maybe it's because of this.
Sir Ken Robinson tell us that creativity is, along with other things, one of the most important things we need in our lifes in order to succeed. His speech really made me think about how most adults we know are afraid of being wrong, and when they make a mistake it's like the end of the world for them. And the schools are the responsible for this world with people watching carefully everything they do, "making everything right". As Robinson said "if you are not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original"

For me, as a future teacher, that's something that I want my students to learn; it's ok to be wrong sometimes. If you want to came up with a better idea, learn and create new things from that mistakes. We need to stop being like everybody else in this educational system. I would like to teach my future students the importance of being creative.
